    The Exorcist (1973) | Ep. 83 - Part 2

    Two composers were thrown off the film before Friedkin found thirty seconds of Tubular Bells by accident. Luke, Matt, and Westy continue the story, heading up the stairs to that bedroom. In Part 2 we cover the crew, Blatty's screenplay and the real 1949 case behind it, Owen Roizman's flatly-lit refusal to hide anything from you, and Dick Smith, who get inventive when testing his mechanical. All of that before the exorcism, the reception and the legacy. Plus the hosts' verdicts and scores. Part 1 is where the unease takes hold: Iraq, Friedkin, the cast.

    The Exorcist (1973) | Ep. 83 - Part 1

    The set burned to the ground overnight. Regan's bedroom came out of it without a mark. Luke, Matt, and Westy begin the story of the film that dragged horror out of the drive-in and all the way to the Academy Awards. In Part 1 we cover the prologue shot in 130-degree heat in northern Iraq, the casting of Burstyn, Blair and Jason Miller, and William Friedkin's methods for getting a performance, which ran from firing guns on set to hiding rotting meat around it. Standard directing. Merrin hasn't arrived and nobody has been down those steps yet. Part 2 goes upstairs: the crew, the exorcism, the ending, the legacy. Out now.

    The Blues Brothers (1980) | Ep. 82 - Part 2

    The climactic chase reportedly held the world record for the most cars destroyed in a single film for decades. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story, careering towards that mass-pile-up finale. We dig into the crew behind the film — the Aykroyd and Landis screenplay, the wall-to-wall soul and R&B soundtrack featuring Aretha, Ray Charles and James Brown, and the stunt and effects work behind the demolition — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the film's status as one of the great cult classics. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores. Part 1 is where the band gets back together — Landis, the cast, the first half. Worth starting there. Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.
